The place: A retro four-bedroom home lined with antique wood and situated just beyond High Park’s western border.

The history: The house was built in the 1930s and has had the same owners for the past 40 years. Many of the original details remain, like leaded glass windows and gumwood trim. The rest of the house is a bit more up to date, but only to a point: much of the décor and furniture dates from the 1970s.

Big selling point: The house backs onto Grenadier pond, which is a major plus for anyone who’s into fishing. For those who prefer to observe the water from a distance, the sunroom offers a fine view.

Possible deal breaker: There’s plenty of updating to do inside, especially in the kitchen (that vinyl flooring has seen better days).
